Tonight it was some strange Yorkie. Ran out of her garage, 3 houses down to us. We had never seen this dog, I stayed away from the park today, and went a route where I almost never see dogs. Ugh. Thank goodness Max is pretty good with small dogs. The dog ran up, stopp right under his head, stood up on her hind legs and put her paws up on Max's neck

Max had a lot of head tilts and a bit of "what the heck" expression, but I was pretty sure it would be okay. BUT the owner had no idea that would be the case!!

I'm glad I'll be home the next couple days - only Monday will be unsupervised. His boxers where all wet where he was try to get at his hotspot.

I read the silky boxer part to my husband...he says if he ever comes home and the dogs are wearing underwear of any kind he is having me committed! LMAO! Got to admit he may have to commit me the next time my female goes into heat then. Give Max a hug for me I hope his back feels better once he sees the chiro.

Can't believe he didn't just step on that little dog though. I know all 3 of mine would have whacked it away with a paw like it was a fly.

Someone needs to invent a force field or something that you can attach to your dog's collar to keep other dogs away. Thank goodness this unexpected meeting was okay.

I can understand where I live out in the country, why dog owners let their dogs run loose (although I don't agree with it), but I cannot wrap my head around why so many people in the suburbs would do this.

Aww what a sweet picture! My mom has two min pins and the female is so sweet my dogs would never hurt her. However her male is a yapping little mouthy thing. My female ignores him the best she can. I have never introduced my males to him. I can say it would not be a good situation. I am in envy of a male GSD being so sweet to a small male dog. LOL!

Me too! That picture is just precious. Max looks so pleased to be nose to nose making friends with that little dog.

Maybe it's just luck of the draw with my neighbor's little dogs - very aggressive and if they're loose they're coming in to bite. We have a HUGE rottie, a yellow lab and a giant mastiff mix (call name: Yeti!) on the block that I'm far less concerned with them running up to my dogs than the chis, the minpin or those italien greyhounds.

I still think Max is trying to figure out what those little things are

Out in the 'burbs, folks just let their guard down. When indy was younger, she did her share of stupid things before I got her trained. She was trained very well most folks don't do that. With Max, I know I can't give him the opportunity to screw up, the stakes are higher for him

Leah, hope you are right about the "three" - didn't even think of that!!

If you ever hear of something like this, let me know. I want one!

Part of the problem, imho, is that other dogs don't know how to communicate. Seriously. There are times when Risa has been extremely clear to another dog that she didn't want them to come close. . .and the dog just trots right on up to her like she wants to be friends. AGH!

Glad Max is doing well, though I'm sorry to hear he's still trying to lick his hotspot. Poor boy. Is it Tuesday yet?!?
